A few years ago I digitized my LP collection onto cdroms, and only now am I getting around to converting them to mp3's. I'm talking hundreds of homemade discs, many with two different albums on each disc.
I thought I would ask for some advice on ripping and organizing. I am running Wheezy with Gnome (and CLI sometimes) Currently I am using GRIP. I like it, it works fine, but it doesn't deal well with problem discs. For instance, it tries very hard to resolve a problem reading the disc, but sometimes gets hung and doesn't allow aborting or skipping a bad track during ripping. Any suggestions on how to best deal with problems discs and which software to use? Is there a howto or tutorial on how to deal with problem discs? Secondly, I would like to be able to create playlists based on genre, to then use that playlist in random mode with a console program similar to mpg123. Suggestions on how to do that? Would it be as simple as creating folder trees for each genre then using a script to generate a playlist? or do you know of a easier way? There are so many programs to choose from I just thought I'd get a few recommendations from the list. Some of the programs I've looked at seem too feature-rich for my needs. I prefer simple-but-robust programs and using built-in CLI commands when possible.
